“Trust Your Vibes: Live an Extraordinary Life by Using Your Intuitive Intelligence,” by Sonia Choquette

This book is an excellent resource whether you are new to exploring your intuition or have already tapped into it.

From soniachoquette.net: “Sonia Choquette has worked with thousands of people from all over the world who seek advice and direction, especially regarding their jobs. For many of her clients and students, work woes have become all-consuming, and in these uncertain economic times, they seem to have completely taken over their lives, filling them with anxiety, stress, and dissatisfaction. However, not all of Sonia’s clients fall into this category. Some of them are, in every sense, masters of the game in the arena of work, and are immune to professional woes of any kind. Are these trust-fund babies? Harvard graduates? Lottery winners? Or are they just plain lucky? The answer is none of the above. Their secret is this: They’ve made the simple decision to always, and in all ways, listen to and trust their sixth sense to guide them in their career growth. The good news is that everyone has a sixth sense. Even better news is that it can be readily activated and put to use in your work world immediately. The best news is that this book will teach you exactly how to do just that!”

Here are some of our favorite excerpts from the book:  

“Avoid Psychic Viruses – Just as you keep your distance from someone who has the flu, so too should you keep your psychic distance from someone who doesn’t feel energetically healthy. Even though this is basic common sense, I must remind myself to do this. For example, when I’m around a stressed, miserable person, if I’m not grounded in my own body and clear about my priorities, I can easily absorb their anxiety in about three minutes. It’s like catching a psychic virus.” – Chapter 7, Observe, Don’t Absorb

“Psychic Protection Against Bad Vibes – Breathe in slowly and exhale fully. Next, turn your body slightly to either the right or left of the negative energy being directed at you, and casually cross your arms slightly above your belly button. This is your solar plexus, the place in your body where you most absorb energy from the atmosphere around you. Continue to breathe slowly, inhaling to the count of four, then exhaling to the count of four, slowly. Remain in this position and keep breathing for as long as you need to. This may be challenging when in the eye of someone’s intense emotional storm, so it helps to practice beforehand when things are calm. That way, your body has already done this and will do so automatically again when the need arises.” – Chapter 7, Observe, Don’t Absorb

“Words can be used to sow seeds of destruction or germinate gorgeous flowering experiences. What you say to yourself, and others has power, and if you want to live an extraordinary life, one that is guided by your spirit and goes with the flow, harness that power by using truthful, kind, and generous words spoken peacefully and harmoniously.” – Chapter 8, Choose Your Words Well

“The ego asks life, ‘Why is this happening to me?’ while the spirit asks, ‘Why is this happening, and what can I learn from it?’” – Chapter 13, Change Your Story

“Prayer immediately raises your personal vibration, ushers more light into your body, and opens up your heart center – all of which activate your intuition and connect you with your spirit. In study after study, research has shown that prayer has a healing effect on the physical and emotional body, calming anxieties, soothing nerves, and easing tension. It has even been known to relieve high blood pressure, lift depression, and cure sickness. As it heals, calms, strengthens, balances, and restores order, prayer also attracts solutions that we could never imagine were possible – in other words, miracles.” – Chapter 15, Pray

Dr. Jerod Bergman is now booking at ORGANIQUE for wellness chiropractic care appointments, which incorporate fascia treatment along with chiropractic adjustments.

In a recent New York Times article titled, “The Tissue That Connects Our Muscles May Be a Key to Better Health – Fascia is more important than previously thought. Here’s how, and why, you should care for yours,” it was reported that “researchers have discovered that the connective tissue (fascia) plays a vital role in how we function and is key to flexibility and range of motion… merging research suggests that caring for your fascia may help treat chronic pain and improve exercise performance and overall well-being.”

When answering the question of, “How does fascia get damaged?” the New York Times reported, “In 2007, an anatomy professor named Carla Stecco at the University of Padova in Italy found that fascia is alive with nerve endings. This means it can be a source of pain. The longer it is damaged or inflamed, the more sensitive it becomes.

When you’re sedentary for a long time, fascia can shorten, become overly rigid and congeal into place, forming adhesions that limit mobility, said David Krause, a physical therapist at the Mayo Clinic. Over time, inactivity can also lead fascia to reshape itself. If you spend most days hunched over a computer, the fascia surrounding your neck and shoulder muscles may change so that your posture becomes curved.

Fascia can also become damaged from repetitive movements, chronic stress, injury or surgery — becoming inflamed, overly rigid or stuck together. And it stiffens with age.

Finally, because it consists of a matrix of fibers, fascia that is too short, stiff or sticky in one part of the body can lead to pain and dysfunction elsewhere, by pinching or pulling in the wrong direction, Dr. Stecco said. The body can also compensate by changing the way it moves, causing other issues.”

To start taking care of your fascia, simply call, email or text to schedule an appointment with Dr. Bergman, then feel the difference!

NRT Orientation Night January 3^rd at 5:30 p.m.

Get to the Root Cause of Your Health Problems Naturally With Nutrition Response Testing (NRT)!

So much of today’s healthcare is centered around treating symptoms. However, this misses a critical component in health recovery. To remove the symptoms, you must first identify and remove the root cause. NRT looks at health challenges that mainstream medicine may miss, focusing not only on pathogens and food sensitivities, but also diving deep into environmental toxicities like food sourcing, pesticides, geopathic stress, mold and more to scar tissue, heavy metals, chemicals, structural blocks and more.

Want to learn what may be causing your symptoms? Want to know what you can do about it? Join Ashley to learn more about our transformative, nationally renowned NRT program.

Wellness Chiropractic Care With Dr. Jerod Bergman

Dr. Bergman has opened up his calendar in January at ORGANIQUE! Come experience his unique, sought-after fascia treatments, which are incorporated into his wellness chiropractic care appointments along with his chiropractic adjustments. Fascia treatment can oftentimes be the missing link in recovering from long-term injuries and chronic pain. This manual therapy stretches and releases tightness and pain throughout your fascia tissues. Contact our front desk to schedule!

Hear what clients are saying:

“…Dr. Bergman worked on my right arm, really focusing on the fascia. My range of motion completely came back!” – D.Z.

“…Dr. Bergman adjusted me like a chiropractor would, giving me a complete adjustment, but along with that, he did fascia work, so he was stretching and pulling out my muscles and my tendons to go along with the adjustment… It’s amazing how my arm feels. Now, I feel like he gave it back to me. I feel like I really didn’t have all of my arm for the last 15 years, and now I have a brand-new arm!” – L.J.

“My issue was that my arms and hands would be numb when I would wake up in the morning. Then, I would always know I needed another chiropractic adjustment. However, I didn’t understand why the adjustments wouldn’t hold for more than a few weeks to a month. So, I thought I would try Dr. Bergman. After three to four appointments, my numbness completely went away AND stayed away.” – J.M.

Acupuncture and Intuitive Acupressure With Peng Roden Her

Licensed Acupuncturist, Peng will be back to visit us in January, February and March. His January calendar is almost full. So, if you have been meaning to get in with him, contact us soon!

Hear what clients are saying:

“I was in a car accident 25 years ago, so I’ve got some pretty significant old injuries. There’s a lot of stuff that Western medicine is great at helping, like a broken arm or diagnosing a bulging disc, but I don’t think Western medicine is great for the after effects of the injury.

Through a referral, I found Peng. At my acupuncture appointment yesterday, he said, ‘Oh, your sinuses and your right side are kind of bugging you.’ I’d been having issues for a few weeks, but I hadn’t verbalized that to him at all – he just knows.

There are other things you can do like massage, chiropractic, yoga, etc., but sometimes, those old injuries are really difficult to release. Working with Peng helped release that old stuff and those old injuries, so for me, it’s been a really great form of pain management.

Also, I think there’s a certain hustle and bustle in life with relationships, kids and jobs, that we get wound up in, and it’s a lot of stress overall. Acupuncture really helps ground me and calm me. I’m less anxious, and I sleep better, with acupuncture.” – L.R.

An easy way to incorporate meditation into your holistic lifestyle.

Many people have difficulty finding time for a meditation practice. However, it does not have to be complicated or time consuming. Here’s what works us:
• Download the meditation app, Insight Timer for free!
• Utilize the search engine to find meditations based on your goals (i.e., stress, intuition, anxiety, abundance, gratitude, etc.).
• Search for a meditation based upon how much time you have available. If you have a really busy day and only have time for a quick meditation, search for a 5-minute or less meditation to make it fit it into your schedule. Meditations do not have to be long to be meaningful.
• Listen to a meditation as you travel, instead of listening to the radio (be careful not to select one that is too distracting or too relaxing if you are the one driving).
• Turn on a meditation right when you wake up in the morning and listen as you get ready for the day. Or, turn on a meditation as you go to bed. Search up sleep meditations if you need additional support falling into a peaceful slumber.
• Select a meditation on your phone, then set it outside your shower or bath to transform this time into a moment of serenity and alignment.
• Have a stressful day of work ahead of you? Listen to a grounding meditation as you commute to work, so you can tackle your tasks with more ease and less cortisol.
• Are you going to an event where you will be surrounded by negative people, or near people who “zap the energy” out of you? Beforehand, listen to a protective or positive affirmations meditation to shield yourself or instill positivity, so you are less inclined to be impacted by them. Afterwards, listen to a cleansing meditation to release all negative energy and return you to a more centered space.

Despite popular belief, you don’t need your own designated, quiet, sacred space to meditate. As I write this, I am in a bustling, LOUD community center, yet my world inside is perfectly still. Make the most with what you have and meditation can be a powerful guide on your holistic journey.

This warm, winter meal is an excellent way to use up your spaghetti squash!

Ingredients
1 medium-sized spaghetti squash, roasted
1 cup red onion or yellow onion, chopped
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, optional
1 (15-oz) can full-fat coconut milk
1 (8-oz) jar sun-dried tomatoes, drained
5 ounces baby spinach
Avocado oil
Himalayan salt

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the tip and tail off of the spaghetti squash using a sharp knife, and slice it in half lengthwise down the middle. Note: this will be challenging if your knife is not sharp. Be cautious while cutting the squash.
• Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and innards of the squash, then discard.
• Drizzle the flesh (cut side) with one to two tablespoons of avocado oil per half. Use your fingers or a silicone brush to distribute the oil all over the flesh, so that it is lightly coated. Sprinkle the flesh with salt.
• Place spaghetti squash on a large baking sheet cut-side down. Roast on the center rack of the preheated oven for 40 to 55 minutes, or until the spaghetti squash has reached your desired level of doneness. For al dente “noodles,” cook for 35 to 40 minutes and for soft “noodles,” cook 45 to 55 minutes, depending on the size of the squash.
• Remove the squash from the oven, and set it aside to cool until it has chilled enough to handle.
• While the squash is roasting in the oven, prepare the sun-dried tomato sauce.
• Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped chicken and minced garlic cloves to the skillet, and spread it out in an even layer. Allow the chicken to cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has a slight golden-brown color.
• Add in the paprika, red pepper flakes, coconut milk, and drained sundried tomatoes. Give everything a big stir. Bring the sauce to a full boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to the consistency of alfredo sauce, about 10 to 15 minutes. Note: If there is a lot of separation between the coconut flesh and the water in the can of coconut milk, no worries. Simply scoop everything out of the can using a spoon. The heat will melt the coconut cream and water together.
• Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cover with a lid. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted. Stir it into the sun-dried tomato mixture.
• Use a fork to release the spaghetti squash strands (“noodles”) from the spaghetti squash halves and transfer the strands of spaghetti squash to the skillet with the sauce. Stir well until everything is combined.
• Serve in bowls, and enjoy!
